    The Local Forge 13-4-38
    Collected by Richard Morrin.
    There are three forges in the Parish. Their people have always been smiths.
    There is one of the forges near the barracks and the other one is near a cross roads. The forge has a wooden roof and felt on top and two slide doors and there is one fire place in each forge. The bellows of the forge was not made locally. The implements he uses are hammer pincers buffet and a rasp. He shoes horses and asses but he does not shoe cattle. He does not make farm implements. He shoes wheels in open air
